Roofs, Siding and Gutters on The Colony Homes
The Colony’s core neighborhoods were built in the 1970s and 1980s by Fox & Jacobs: compact brick ranches and two-stories on small lots, with simple gable roofs and wood trim. After 40-plus years, those homes are often on their second or third roof, and the fascia boards and soffits behind the gutters tend to rot where water has backed up. Austin Ranch and The Tribute add 2000s-2020s homes with higher-end roofing and more complex rooflines. For the older homes, a standing seam or metal shingle roof with new fascia and seamless gutters is a reliable reset; for newer homes, it’s usually a Class 4 upgrade that keeps the neighborhood’s look.
We serve The Colony’s original Fox & Jacobs neighborhoods plus The Tribute, Austin Ranch, Stewart Peninsula and Legends, from Grandscape and SH 121 to the east shore of Lewisville Lake.
Storm Season in The Colony: What to Plan For
The Colony knows wind. During the May 28, 2024 derecho, an 18-wheeler was overturned on SH 121 in the city. One-inch hail fell on March 29, 2025, and 70 mph gusts hit on June 8, 2025. Homes on the east shore and Stewart Peninsula take gusts across open water with little to slow them. That’s why we favor concealed-clip standing seam or interlocking metal shingles, both of which resist uplift better than composition tabs, and products rated Class 4 under UL 2218 for hail. After a big wind event, we check ridge caps, edge metal and gutter hangers first.
- Class 4 (UL 2218) impact-rated roofing options, with the certificate your insurer asks for
- Free post-storm inspections with dated photos and measurements
- Adjuster meetings on site so the claim scope is complete

Our Work in The Colony, TX
In the older Fox & Jacobs homes, soffit and fascia replacement goes hand in hand with re-roofing, because decades of overflowing gutters have softened the trim. Metal roofing is a strong fit for those simple gable roofs. Newer HOA homes mostly need Class 4 roofing and gutter upgrades, and lakeside homes on Stewart Peninsula benefit from wind-rated details at eaves and rakes.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam and stone-coated steel systems with Class 4 impact ratings, installed by our own crews for The Colony homeowners tired of re-roofing after every hailstorm.
Metal Wall Panels
Aluminum composite (ACM) and corrugated metal wall panels for storefronts, shops and modern homes in The Colony, fabricated and installed by our own crews.
Siding
Full-length seamless steel panels with no seams to leak, plus fiber cement and vinyl options matched to your brick and HOA rules.
Seamless Gutters
Seamless 5- and 6-inch gutters and guards sized for North Texas downpours, moving water away from foundations on expansive clay soil.
Soffit & Fascia
Rotted fascia boards and sagging soffits replaced with low-maintenance materials that keep squirrels and birds out of the attic.

Permits, HOAs and Paperwork in The Colony
Most original 1970s-80s neighborhoods in The Colony are HOA-free, so a roof or siding change typically needs only the city permit. The Tribute, Austin Ranch and Legends are HOA-governed with architectural review. In those communities, Texas Property Code §202.011 generally prevents a ban on wind- and hail-resistant or energy-efficient roofing that resembles and matches approved materials. We supply samples and specs for the review and pull the City of The Colony permit where required.

The Colony Roofing and Exterior FAQs
Can you re-roof a Fox & Jacobs home without replacing the decking?
Often. Many of these homes have decking that is still solid, but older roofs were sometimes nailed over earlier layers or into soft spots near the eaves. We tear off to the deck, inspect every sheet and replace only what’s damaged. Your estimate explains how any decking replacement is priced, so there are no surprises once the old roof is off.
How can I tell wind damage from hail damage?
Wind damage usually shows as lifted, creased or missing roofing along ridges, rakes and eaves, sometimes with exposed nail lines. Hail leaves random bruises, granule loss and dents in soft metals like vents and gutters. Insurers treat them as separate causes, so an inspection that photographs and labels each type of damage helps your claim.
Do Austin Ranch and The Tribute homes need different roofing products?
Often. These homes have more complex rooflines and higher-end finishes, and their HOAs expect materials that match. Stone-coated steel, metal shingles and designer standing seam profiles can all work. We match the color family and profile to what’s already approved on your street and submit samples before anything is ordered.
Do you offer free estimates in The Colony?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation in-home estimates throughout The Colony and the rest of Denton County. A specialist inspects your roof or exterior, takes measurements and photos, and gives you a written, all-inclusive price, usually during the same visit.
